Facial Fitness: Daily Exercises & Massage Techniques for a Healthier, Younger Looking You

I can't believe posters who criticize the "young model" in the book/video are NOT doing the exercises, because the fact that the woman in the video looks young to them is actual a testimonial to how effective the exercises can be. I have seen some reviewers who discount this product because the "model" in the video/book is too "young" to be believable; she can't be someone who uses or needs facial exercising and was just selected for her young face. I can't trust these posters' reviews, and neither should you. Not only does the "model" identify herself in the book and video as Patricia Goroway (founder of Facial Fitness), but a 5-minute search on Google and Youtube will give you a good idea how long Patricia Goroway has been developing this product, and therefore you can tell that she looks younger than her age: she incorporated Facial Fitness Inc in 1999, her original book was dated 2006, she has updated videos on YouTube in 2012 from a local TV show that featured her where you can see how toned and wrinkle-free her face is, and she developed the program after a car accident when she was 32.

If the reviewers think Patricia looks so young, beautiful, toned and wrinkle-free, and if Patricia has been doing Facial Fitness for 18 years, shouldn't that be a resounding testament to how effective the program is? I just can't trust reviewers who don't do research on an exercise program. If they don't take 5 minutes to research the founder or spokesperson for a program to see how fit and toned they look, can I really trust that they took the time to do the exercises consistently in order to determine they don't work--or did they just give up without putting in any work or effort? I bought this product specifically BECAUSE I saw the product creator's toned cheek, lip and eye muscles and figured out her approximate age by doing online research.

I have been doing the exercises daily for only a few days, and so far I can tell that the circulation-enhancing massage is beneficial, but I had to post an early review because it was too funny seeing people giving negative reviews because they didn't see wrinkles on Patricia's face. I like that the exercises are subtle, I feel the burn, they are easy to do, and there is no skin-stretching/pulling or sticking fingers into your mouth like some other programs.

This book is really well put together. Great to look at- the pictures and format are pleasant to read and easy to follow, unlike some other more expensive and time consuming facial exercise routines. I have twin babies who are still very young, and even I can find the time to do this routine! The accompanying DVD is a great bonus. I have used the exercises in this book for a little over two months now and I can definitely see a difference in the overall relaxed feeling in my Facial muscles, as in, I LOOK more relaxed! My muscle tone is taut and defined, and I only perform the routine 3-4 times per week! I am in my late thirties, and still fairly young looking ( good genes) but I know that prevention is the way to go when tackling future aging, which is why I started this routine. I used to get botox on my frown lines, but I really wanted to try to give up that little expensive habit ( or at least have it done less) and I really have noticed an improvement using a combination of this routine and " Frownies" facial patches. It took about a month to see noticeable results, but I did notice, and it was very exciting! Imagine, an alternative to Botox that doesn't cost a small fortune every five months!
Most importantly, I really feel like its an easy enough routine ( that still produces results) that I could easily incorporate it into a lifetime routine, without thinking about it too much, which is exactly what I was looking for. I am looking forward to using this routine as I age gracefully. I'm going to assume that the results would be even better if I performed the exercises everyday, but so far, I am really pleased with the results.

I was really excited about the book and cd after reading all the reviews but most of the facial exercises are for the neck. My neck is fine. I'll be looking for eye area exercises online.

I didn't see any mention of a DVD when I read the description of this book; however, other reviewers mentioned a DVD was included. I ordered the paperback version, and was not sure whether or not I would receive the DVD. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and found a DVD inside the back cover of the book.

This is a good book, well written descriptions and pictures of the facial exercises. Clear explanation of muscle groups worked and benefits plus the DVD was included and its very helpful. Good value, good book, good DVD..I recommend.

This book was everything it claimed to be. The exercises and message techniques are a relaxing end to the day and they work! I will be purchasing this book again as gifts for family and friends! A great investment!!!

This book is an easy read & it really helps to give an understanding of the facial muscles. The pictures are done nicely. The exercises are easy to do. You have to do them several times to get the technique. The DVD that was included is invaluable. Seeing her do the exercises & massages helps me with the technique. This is a great price also. I will continue to read it. I do believe that overtime this will help with muscle strenthening. I just have to be careful bcuz sometimes I find myself frowning while doing the exercises. This can definitely create frown lines. Just have to perfect my technique.

I have only been using the exercises for two weeks and already see a significant difference in the reduction of facial lines and a glow to my skin. My face feels tighter and I will keep up my routine. Thanks so much!!

It's something you have to be committed to do each and every day. It will take some time to see results. There are a variety of exercises so you will not get bored.

Very well bound book. The facial exercises are very simple, yet effective. Can take as little as 5 minutes of your day to go through a few exercises, or you can do several sets and take longer. Very thorough and well researched. Would recommend for both men and women who are looking to maintain their face without using artificial, risky or expensive methods.

I love this book and dvd it is very helpful if you are consistent with it you will definitely see results
great as gifts as well
